Hi, I’m not sure if you remember me or not as it has been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog. In case you forgot, I’m Greg, your friendly neighborhood landscape and decay photographer that also does portrait work here and there. Now that I’ve refreshed your memories, you may recall that I have been struggling here lately trying to get my creative drive back. I thought that I might be back on track at the beginning of August when I set out to go and photograph some landscapes at Stone Mountain. That one started out good, but I got interrupted in my creative flow by the dealership telling me that my truck was on the ground and would be ready to deliver soon. I shared a little bit about how that went in that last blog, so you should know kind of what I was handling dealing with the new truck.
Well, here we are three weeks later and for the most part the truck is finished. I’ve taken delivery of it, installed most of the parts that I had onhand like the exhaust, the start/stop disable, and the rear differential breather relocation kit. This was followed up with a full detail the next day, and I mowed the yard a couple of days after that. I was getting things done, and had an appointment set up with Alpine Performance and Offroad to get the Dobinsons IMS lift kit installed along with new wheels and tires. The only problem was that after I mowed, I was lifting a foot and my back locked up. After a day of not moving, I had to go and see a doctor to get my muscles to stop spasming so that I could sit, stand, and walk without sharp pains going all through my body. This process took a full week, and during that time I was basically no good at all. There was only one chair in the whole house that I could sit in for more than a few minutes without hurting.
Of course, during this week, the last thing that I was interested in was getting out with the camera. Getting the truck sorted out was more pressing and I had to be ready to drive the truck to the shop when all of the parts came in. This brings me to another issue that I ended up dealing with. I’ll just say FedEx and that should sum it all up. It took nearly two weeks to get four wheels in when they were shipped at the same time. They came on three different days over the course of a week. The third wheel was damaged on arrival and had to be sent back with a replacement shipped again. The replacement arrived a day later than expected as well. Eventually everything was in place and I was able to get the truck to the shop. While it was there, I was able to sell the original wheels and tires, so I had to go back there to meet with the buyer, and then again the following day to pick up the completed truck.
Once I got it home, I was expecting a tonneau cover to arrive which was going to use to cover my photography gear and allow the camera to stay out of the A/C on humid and hot days. It arrived, but it was the wrong tonneau and for a completely different truck. That had to be sent back and a replacement ordered. The correct one arrived just a couple of days ago, right before I was supposed to pick up a bed extender which was going to help house the camera bag and tripod for basic treks. I was picking that up used, and as it turned out, it did not fit the slightly different bed design on the Frontier. I was left with no other choice but to order the Nissan part new to make sure that it would fit the bed.
Except for the bed extender, the truck was basically ready to go on a photography adventure, but the photographer was still not in the right headspace to get out there and give it a try. This creative slump has really taken a toll on me, especially with every time I start to get back into the flow, I get thrown off track by something else. I really needed to get back in the swing of things and started to look for cloudy days. Originally, Saturday was supposed to be rainy, but as we got close, it was just going to be cloudy with some patchy low clouds through the day. It was something to keep an eye on with the hopes of going out.
On Thursday, Toni and I had taken the new truck into Greensboro, and I had opted to take the back roads for a bit more enjoyable ride as I got used to the new truck. As I was driving through Yadkin County, I spotted a rusty roof behind a business and tried to get a look as we drove by. It looked like a ’30’s business coupe and appeared to be mostly complete. This was new and something that would interest me in terms of photography. As we continued through the county, I looked at one the used car dealers that usually has some older cars on the lot. Things looked pretty much the same, but this time there was another old rusty car that I couldn’t really identify. It looked like a limo of some sort possibly from the ’30’s. It was something that interested me and I thought that I might want to come back and try it before it got gone. There were also some other cars in the area that appealed to me, so this was going to be worth a drive out at some point.
After the day was over and we were headed back home, I looked at a small car dealer/junk yard that isn’t too far from the house. I had been seeing something in the back that had caught my eye a couple of times that I wanted to look at a bit closer. As we drove by, I could tell that it was a late ’60’s or early 70’s GM sedan. It wasn’t a great body style, but the colors on it made up for the extra doors and I liked the angles that I was seeing on it. That was something else that I kind of wanted to shoot if the conditions were right. The simple trip into Greensboro had proven fruitful as a scouting trip in a lot of ways. I wasn’t necessarily excited about photographing these subjects, but it was the first time I had the chance to consider photographing something new. The fact that I was thinking about photography at all was pretty impressive after how little photography has entered into my brain over the past few months. Maybe things were starting to change.
Saturday morning came early as Toni had to get up for Bible Study and I got up shortly after she left. The sky was basically clear at this point and the sun was bright which meant that I had no real interest in going out with the camera. Instead, I went downstairs and started doing my morning financial stuff. As I was going through all of the motions, I got a text from our youngest daughter’s boyfriend who is also a photographer. He had some questions about Lightroom and that got me looking at my previous Tuesday’s Tips video on noise reduction. Toni had also texted me and said that she left her devotional book opened to a page that she wanted me to read.
When I got through with things downstairs, I felt like I needed to get out and be a photographer for a change. I could only claim to be one based on history for so long. Eventually, I would have to put a lens where my mouth was and get out and do something instead of just talking the talk. The sky was a little cloudier, but still brighter than I would have wanted. I took a moment to read the devotional and essentially, it was about procrastination. It said that you shouldn’t wait for things to be perfect, just go out and make things happen. You might just find that things are closer to perfect than you would have imagined. Now Toni didn’t know that I would be struggling with whether or not to go out this morning or not, but that page of text seemed to hit home. It pushed me over the edge and caused me to just throw negativity to the wind and get my gear.
I figured out how best to load up the camera in the truck along with the tripod. It was going to have to go in the bed because there really wasn’t room in the rear of the cab since I was forced to get the crew cab for the drivetrain options that I wanted. I’ve been very used to working out of an extended cab for many years and know exactly how that works. The full rear seats just got in the way, and I really didn’t want to limit the A/C on account of wanting the camera to be acclimated to the temperature outside. This was why I chose to put everything in the bed under the cover of the tonneau. I just didn’t have that extender which would limit the motion of the gear. As long as I drove sensibly, I didn’t think that I would have any problems, so I just put it all back there and closed up the tailgate. This was going to be the first trek with the new company vehicle. If nothing else, I was at least going to see how that was going to work out.
I didn’t have any real expectations for the day. I just wanted to get a photo or two to say that I did. I started off at the location close to home. I drove in and looked at the car a bit closer and more critically than I had in the past. It was a Buick LeSabre and I still didn’t like the body style with the four doors. The colors were what stuck out to me the most and that was what I wanted to photograph. However, the light was still a bit too bright at this point and I didn’t see any compositions right off. The decision was made to drive out to Yadkin County and check out the rusty limo that I had seen just a couple of days before. It wasn’t too far down the road, and I was actually looking forward to taking the truck for another drive as I was starting to get used to how it operated.
When I arrived, I pulled into the lot and looked at the car a bit more critically. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but it was very unique and apparently from England with a right-hand drive. I was here, it was rusty and decaying, so I parked the truck and grabbed my camera. The tailgate was nice to hold the bag while I pulled out what I needed. The height was a bit better than the 4Runner had been as a working desk space. I chose to fit the long lens on the camera because I knew that I was going to be shooting detail shots more than anything else here due to the amount of cars all around the interesting ones. The polarizer was added because I knew that was going to be needed with the glass and paint which were going to cause glare without the filter.
By the way, for those of you who have been following the Singh-Ray narrative over the last year or so, it would appear that they are slowly coming back online again. They are accepting orders through their website only at this point. I’ve checked with B&H and they have removed all Singh-Ray products after having them listed as special order for the past year. I’m not sure if my “KISER10” discount code still works or not, but if you are in the market for a filter, give it a try. I’m really happy that they are getting things running again as I was really afraid that they were going to cease being a manufacturer after all this time. It was fortunate that I didn’t have a need for any new filters during this time because I still enjoy having a full Singh-Ray filter kit with me that covers everything that I need in the field.
Sorry for getting off topic with that, but I wanted to at least mention it here. Now that I had the camera built, I started walking around the limo to see what I might want to shoot on it. I was able to identify it as a Princess Limousine and it looked very English in style. I’m still not sure of the year, but it had seen better times for sure. What should have been a quick process of getting compositions figured out took a good bit of time. I looked at all my usual compositions but felt that they were just too expected. I then started to look at some abstract type compositions and started liking those better. I was feeling better about the compositions that dealt with shapes and lines more than the car itself.
I was drawn to the areas around the headlights and grill, but with different ideas than I would have had before. The crops were executed in completely different ways, and I was looking for angles that I would not normally look. The main thing was that I was starting to make exposures, and I was getting those first shots in the bag. No matter what I am photographing, it is those first few exposures that are always the most difficult. I wasn’t really holding out much hope for anything at all and found myself losing interest after one or two attempts at a composition. I couldn’t tell if I was nailing the composition early on, or if I just didn’t like what I was seeing.
This became a pretty big question in the back of my head as the day went on. A bit of a spoiler alert here, I ended up only shooting 51 frames, and this was from three different locations and five different cars. My frame count was staying very low considering I was shooting a bunch of compositions just on this first car. There was a very high likelihood that I was going to get home and hate everything I had shot kind of like when I went to that waterfall at Rendezvous Mountain. It really wouldn’t have surprised me at all, and I was mentally prepared to just toss them all in the bin when I got home, but I stuck with it and kept going through the motions.
I decided to move over to the Studebaker Power Hawk that was parked next to a building for a few frames. This car has been here for years, and I have attempted to photograph it a couple of other times in the past without success. It was painted red at one point with a two-tone brown to complement it. The red had faded to pink, so this one was pink and brown now. I didn’t want to capture that in color, so I knew that black and white was going to be the only chance I had for this car. I tried several different angles, but it was the first composition that I did which I thought worked. This was from the front and highlighted the awkward air intake under the headlight which is a defining feature of the car. It worked well as a black and white and was the only one of three photos that I shot of the Studebaker that I cared for at all.
There was also a Buick that I had tried to shoot before right in front of the main building. When I had tried to shoot it previously, I had made the mistake of trying to get the whole car in the frame. This was an exercise in futility because it was parked inches away from an Acura CL which didn’t help tell the story of the old Buick at all. This time, I went with the idea of shooting some detail shots of the car and found a few angles that I liked on it. Working with a black car is not all that easy because the black paint rarely offers a chance for color contrasts, and when done in black and white, the black tends to create a void in the photo where the subject is. I tried to keep that in mind while I was shooting and include enough chrome to establish the lines of the car and make it look as interesting in a photo as I found it in real life.
I was noticing that the compositions and photos were coming quicker and quicker the longer I was out here. I wasn’t quite in auto pilot as I was hoping for, but I was moving through options quicker than I had in the past. I still wasn’t spending long on any of the compositions though. I was getting it set up and grabbing the photo fairly quickly which kept me moving around, but I was wondering if I was cheating myself out of better light. The clouds were moving overhead and changing the intensity of the light on the different cars. I was aware of that as it was happening and felt that I was getting the right light for the compositions for the most part. Only rarely did I linger and wait for different light to hit. Again, I was worried that this could be laziness, or a disconnect from what I was doing. What I was hoping was happening was that my subconscious was evaluating the shots better than my conscious mind was able to and I was nailing the shots in ways that I didn’t recognize. It was going to be a while before I could make a judgement on that.
After what felt like a couple of hours, I was done with what I wanted to capture. Looking back on the RAW files, I had spent only 45 minutes on the property working with the three cars. I had only shot 26 frames for the three cars I worked with. There have been plenty of landscape compositions that I have shot more frames than that without moving an inch. If I was lucky, I might have two or three of those that will work out as keepers. Of course, now that the edits are done, I can look back over the keepers and excitedly say that I have seven from this location that I liked enough to keep. I was rather impressed with myself if I’m being completely honest with you and would have been perfectly happy stopping right here and calling it a day. However, there was this little voice in my head saying that I still needed to find something better because more than likely all of the shots that I had just done were going to be trashed after I looked at them on the computer.
I got things loaded back up in the truck and headed back to the West hoping to find the old rusty car behind the business once again. I had missed it on the way down originally but knew roughly where it was from seeing it the other day. The few miles went fast, and I was just starting to cool off in the A/C (so happy that I could run that without having to worry about the camera getting chilled). I caught a glimpse of the car and had to get turned around to get to it. When I pulled in the parking lot, I wasn’t able to tell if the business was open or not, so I parked and started checking doors. Once I was satisfied that nobody was there, I looked around for signs that would prevent me from being in the parking lot. It appeared as though I would have no issues photographing the car. There were neighbors in the back yard next door which didn’t seem concerned at all that I was there.
I just grabbed the camera with the long lens once again and went over to the Chevy business coupe to start looking for compositions. The car was awesome, and better than the ones that I had been working with. The only problem was that it was parked in a location where I was going to have a hard time sorting out the background for anything other than detail shots. The car was uniformly covered in surface rust which made the detail shots a bit less interesting in my opinion. It is always a good thing to have a paint color mixed in with the rust to provide a bit of visual interest. At least the chrome was all present which would contrast nicely with the rust.
I found the most interesting bits of the car to be along the front of it. I loved the grill and the fact that the headlights were in place. The car was missing the driver’s side front wheel, and I couldn’t help but wonder if they were waiting on one from FedEx, or possibly if the one that was supposed to be there was damaged by FedEx. Yeah, I’m still a little bitter about all of that. I spent a good bit of time working with the shapes of the headlights and the lines of the hood as well as the shape of the grill itself. One of the surprise favorites from this car was a very impactful composition straight on to the nose of the car. I had done something similar to this a while back with a Pontiac if I’m not mistaken but wanted to do this one a bit different. I used a shallow depth of field to give the image a more 3D look while focusing the attention on the crest at the nose of the hood as well as the “Chevrolet” stamping on the grill. I wanted everything else to go into soft focus which turned out to be very effective. The choice to make it black and white happened after the fact, but seemed like a natural choice during the edit so that I could really emphasize the blacks and shadows in the frame. What do you think? Is this an effective edit to this one?
There was a part of me that wanted to do the headlight shots in black and white, but I resisted that urge and kept them in full color. The more I looked at them, the more the color really helped to tell the story with the textures present. What I ended up doing was desaturating the red tones a bit to keep them from overpowering the frame which is very easy to do when working with red hues. I also used the chrome to reflect the blue sky which was pumped up a bit in saturation to balance out the reds.
While I was working the different angles on the car, I started to get more and more drawn to the overall car. This didn’t come as a surprise to me at all because I know how my mind works. Normally, I will gravitate to the detail oriented shots because I am very detail oriented in life. However, after nearly two months of working out the details on the build for my new truck, I was a little worn out from looking at just the details. My mind really needed to get a wider view of something and forget about the little things for a bit. This is actually why I chose working landscapes as my last trek because I knew I needed to see the big picture to balance out my own life for a bit. Those full scenes are a bit harder to find when it comes to working these subjects because the really great decay subjects are rarely positioned all by themselves with a background that helps to tell the story.
In the case of this Chevrolet, I did see that there was a really nice red barn behind it. Of course, I wasn’t lucky enough for the barn to be in a state of disrepair, but it was still a red barn which went well with the rusted body on the Chevy. The problem that I ran into was that there was an electric fence between the car and the barn as well as another house and small shed to the right of it. I kept looking at the angles but wasn’t able to get a view that eliminated the house in the background. The best that I could do was cover a good portion of the house with the car while leaving the red building blocking a portion of the house while the barn was still in full view. The fence was going to have to remain in the shot unfortunately, but at least it wasn’t all that visible to begin with.
I tried to set the shot up with the long lens to minimize the background and make the barn a bit bigger, but the perspective on the car was not what I was after. I also found myself far too close to a BMW that was parked roughly where I needed to be in order to use the lens that was on the camera. My better choice was to switch out to the standard zoom so that I could move closer. This would give me a better perspective on the car, but it would also force me to include more of the background in the frame. It was worth the tradeoff I figured, so I went back to the truck and swapped out the lenses. When I got back, I had a hard time finding the right position and focal length, but things eventually fell into place where I thought they looked pretty good.
With all the time spent trying to get the right lens and position, I had lost the clouds over the sun which put the car in shadow. This was not ideal, and I was forced to wait until the sunlight softened just enough to get the right detail on the side of the car closest to me. It didn’t take too long, and during the wait, I was able to fine tune the position of the camera and the elevation to change how much of the background came up over the roof of the car. By the time the light was right, I was pretty happy with the composition on the car. I fired off several frames as the light changed and the clouds moved. I could have probably used an ND Grad here, but didn’t want to run back to the truck and risk losing the light. The dynamic range of the scene was within the capability of the camera to record, so I knew that I would just have to do a little work in post to get the shot where I knew it needed to be.
Despite the fact that I was willing to spend so much time on this one shot, I really didn’t have much faith in it as a photograph. I was pretty sure that it was going to be a keeper, but I felt that there were enough problems with the background and the lighting that it would just be a photo that would get lost in the mix eventually. I think that it was about the fifth photo that I decided to edit and the more I progressed with the edit, the more I liked the photo. By the time that I was done with it, I absolutely loved what I was seeing. The parts that I saw as problems were no longer problems and didn’t detract from the photograph in the least. The lighting actually worked very well for the composition, and I ended up really liking the rim light that the sun provided. The white building that it was parked next to reflected plenty of light onto the side of the car to keep the detail visible. The sky turned out great considering that the RAW capture looked like a blank white sky to start with. Everything just came together on this photo and the reality was better than the expectation in most respects. I am kind of thinking that this one will be in the running for a significant image for the year because of how well it came out when I wasn’t holding out any real hope for it at all. I guess we will see in a few more months if it makes the cut. Whether it does or not, to actually shoot a photo that impacts me that much after so much time away from creating give me hope that I am not quite ready to throw in the towel.
In the end, I shot 11 new frames while working with this Chevy. The vast majority of those frames came from the overall composition, but I also took advantage of having that standard zoom attached for one more composition before I left. I went back to the headlight area and used the wide angle perspective to get a little different look to the composition compared to what I had previously shot. I also went to the opposite side to take advantage of the shadows that the sun was providing for this last composition. That wrapped it up for the shoot on this car. I had spent a total of 20 minutes here working this car. I would have loved to have stayed longer, but I just wasn’t seeing anything else that worked as a composition. I was also getting very hot in the direct sun which I didn’t care for. I’m so ready for Fall and Winter!
I was thinking that I was going to head home at this point. I had shot two different locations and four different cars now. That is a full day no matter how you slice it. I was hoping for four or five keepers which would represent another several hours of work at the computer as I tried to remember how to do an edit. I just had to put the urge away to photograph that Buick by the house. It really offered nothing fantastic in the way of compositions, but I did like the colors that were present. Thinking back over the subjects that I had shot; I had worked nothing thus far with an interesting color combination. That made me at least want to give the Buick a try. I mean I was already out and about, what would one more stop matter in the long run?
Well, as I got close to home, I decided to give it a quick look once again. It wasn’t jumping out at me, but I did like the colors still. I went ahead and pulled off the road and grabbed the camera. I fitted the standard zoom because the compositions that I was thinking about getting were going to need the wider angle field of view and the close focusing capability of that lens. The business appeared closed, so I planned on staying right at the edge of the roadway and getting the shots that I was wanting.
That first shot was of the hood and grill with the visual anchor on the hood ornament. It is a composition that I have used before, and I thought that it would be particularly effective with this car to showcase the colors on the hood as well as the complete badging. It did take a while to get the right camera position to get the angles right at the leading edge of the hood with the grill slats below. After I found the basic composition, I spent about the same amount of time getting the shot symmetrical which involved moving the camera fractions of inches left and right to get everything dialed in just right. This is why I love working on a tripod because I can make these small adjustments while keeping the overall composition the same. It might look like it takes longer, but I can dial in a shot much quicker when the camera is on a tripod than I can with it being handheld, not to mention I have the time to really look at the image before I ever press the shutter release.
As I mentioned, this car was a four-door version which I usually don’t like to photograph. I’ve always been partial to two door cars, but the front and rear views still offered some very good styling aspects along with the emblems that told the story of the car better than anything else could. I knew that I wanted to capture the LeSabre badge on the front grill, so that is what I concentrated on next. I liked how it fit into the folds of the grill design and found a composition that worked well to showcase that. The photo didn’t really sing to me though because the colors were very distracting, especially with the grass beneath the car. I figured that this was going to be better as a black and white photo which is how I ultimately processed it.
While I was getting that last shot dialed in, the owner of the business drove up and stopped to talk to me. he was very nice and had no problems with me photographing the cars. He even mentioned that if anyone asked about the cars that I shot on his property that I could send them his way. This is a salvage yard of sorts, and he does business in selling the parts. If anyone is needing anything they see from this Buick, get in touch and I’ll be happy to provide the address and owner’s name. It is located in Millers Creek, NC just off of Boone Trail to give you an idea of the location.
Anyway, now that I had full permission to be here, I took advantage of that and went to the rear of the car for some more possible compositions. Like the front, I found an emblem next to the taillight that helped to identify the car a bit more. It also provided some interesting lines and a slightly different composition from what I would normally have done. I ended up shooting this as both a vertical and horizontal composition as I didn’t know which I would prefer. I could also turn either of them into a square if I decided to later on. It was the vertical composition that won out in the end. It just made more sense overall. I had gone for a limited depth of field to really focus the attention on the car rather than the tree, or the power lines. It would have been easy enough to remove the lines in post, but since the sky was kind of overcast at this point, I wanted to keep the blurred lines in the shot to add just a little interest to the sky while the trees filled up most of the background. This rear shot was probably my least favorite of the day, but the more I look at it now, the more I am liking it. It is something different and unexpected from me which I want to do more of as I get things rolling once again.
I didn’t spend much time at the back of the car because there just wasn’t much I could do with the space that I had to work with. I did look at a Nova that was parked a short distance away, but there wasn’t enough left of it to warrant working a photo out. I went back to the Buick one last time and went to the front of the car where the best colors were. Since I was in the mindset of working emblems, I started to focus my attention on the hood ornament. I tried out a couple of angles and found one off to the side that I really liked. Again, I used a wide aperture to focus the attention on the triple shield ornament and let the rest go into blur to just showcase the colors. The composition was simple and effective with some really good contrast between light and dark on the chrome bits. Getting in close like this is one of the strengths of the standard zoom since it has some limited macro capabilities.
I didn’t want to quit just yet because I still found the colors on the hood nearly perfect. I had pretty much shot all the variations with emblems and headlights that I could think of, but I hadn’t done anything abstract just yet. That was all the thought that I needed to have to start looking for a composition where I could focus just on the colors, textures, and lines. It wasn’t long before I started to work around the leading edge of the hood where I added in just a hint of the grill for one more shape to go along with the panel lines and the body lines. I balanced the elements in the frame so that I had a decent balance between colors and shapes throughout the frame. Once I had that, I fired off the last shot of the day, and what became my 16th keeper from the day.
Now that it was looking like rain, and I was actually tired, the decision was made to head home and get the inaugural trek of the new Frontier wrapped up and edited so I could get it in the books. Surprisingly, the edits went very quick and I was done in just a few hours. Yeah, that is quick considering how long it has been since I’ve really edited a decay photo. There is more to these than a landscape photo requires which is usually part of the fun for me. In this case, however, I was not looking forward to having to remember all of the steps needed. As it turned out, the RAW images were much stronger than I was expecting and required much less editing than I had been thinking. Even though there were more than twice the number of keepers to edit, I actually spent less time doing all the edits than I had expected. At this point in the evening, I have about six hours in everything from culling to editing, to getting the blog done to this point. That is on par with how quick I can get things done when I am used to doing it on a regular basis.
It does feel good to have a significant trek under my belt once again, and it feels good to be able to claim to be a photographer once again based on activity, not just knowledge. There will never be a substitution for getting out there and capturing images. That is what makes a photographer, not gear, not editing ability, and not even knowledge. The only thing that matters is that you can go out and make images, and that is what I have been able to do today.
Thank you so much for joining me on this trek. I really hope that there will be more regular treks and blog entries during the month of September. Fall color is right around the corner and I am hoping to spend some time capturing that this year. With everything starting to calm down, that is a reasonable hope as long as the weather gives me some good days to go out. I just need to get to working on places that I want to go and explore. Unless something changes, I have a planned trek later in September to Eastatoe Falls near Rosman with a friend Bill Neagle who is a member of the Waterfall Keepers of NC. This waterfall is on private property and is one that I have never photographed before. I’m looking forward to the experience and hope that I can miss out on any sunny conditions. I’ll be going out there early in the morning so even if the sky is clear, I should have soft and diffused light for most of the scheduled time.
I’m also hoping to get more sessions scheduled in the studio during the month. There are two models that I have been in contact with who are interested in doing shoots. Details haven’t been worked out yet, but I’m hoping to get things rolling on that front as well now that things are starting to open up. Keep in mind that if you have a need for a photographer, I am available for both studio and location shoots. Just let me know what you have in mind, or what you are needing and we will get you in the schedule.
Until next time….
